I read in Win98 Bible that they compare the speed of 3 setups:
FAT16+drivespace compressed, FAT16, FAT32. They found the first one to be
marginal faster than the FAT16 while FAT32 to be the slowest. Anyone can
verify that claim? Unfortunately, I just recently convert some of my
partitions to FAT32.

It also depends on your processor, RAM, HD speed. It probably not a good
idea with 486...
